Dennis Rodman & Kim Jong Un's Bizarre Friendship To Be Made Into The Comedy 'Diplomats'

The unlikely bromance between Dennis Rodman and North Korean dictator Kim Jong Un is set to be immortalised on the silver screen - after it was revealed 20th Century Fox has bought a comedy pitch modelled on the former NBA star's mission.

While there's been no further details as yet, Rodman and Kim's bizarrely enduring friendship is sure to provide rich pickings for material.

BFFs forever: Dennis Rodman and North Korean leader Kim Jong Un take in a basketball game in Pyongyang in February 2013

Rodman first visited the notoriously secretive Communist state in March last year in order to shoot a documentary for America's HBO.

The pair swiftly became BFFs and were pictured cosying up at a basketball game, with Rodman later cementing relations with his new buddy by addressing Kim in front of a crowd of thousands, telling him: "You have a friend for life."

Rodman, who has made four trips in total to North Korea, returned to Pyongyang in January this year to celebrate the leader's birthday.
